Like most people I occasionally just don’t want to make dinner. It’s tough cooking every night of the week! We really don’t like to eat out very often for a few reasons: it’s expensive, it’s not as healthy, it’s more difficult for my man with his food intolerances, and sometimes it actually takes more effort! That’s when you need an easy recipe in your back pocket, one that only takes minutes, and tastes just as great (or better!) than eating out. The recipe we use is my Ten Minute Taco Salad.

It seriously only takes ten minutes, even with prep work! Here’s what you need to do.

Start browning your seasoned ground beef over medium heat, checking on it every minute or so to stir and crumble while it cooks. Meanwhile, heat up your frozen corn in the microwave (this should only take 1-2 minutes!). After checking your meat, use a mandolin to thinly slice your radishes. Then, dice up an onion. Next, give your beef a quick stir, before opening your can of black beans and rinsing them in a fine strainer.

Once your meat is done cooking, assemble your salads and top with the cooked beef. Thinly slice an avocado and add some to your salad, and use salsa as your dressing! You can also cut up a lime and squeeze a wedge over the top, if desired. Ten whole minutes, and you’re done! Check out the recipe below to see the details.
